The 15-pin D-sub monitor port supports a standard VGA-compatible device such as a monitor or pro-
jector to allow viewing on a larger external display. An external monitor can also be used for dual-view
or dual-application support to allow referencing data on one display while working on the other dis-
play. This feature can really increase your productivity!
TV-Out Port
For times when you need a really big display, try the TV-Out function. TV-Out allows a high definition
connection to a television or video device using a Super VHS (S-Video) cable (not provided). An
adapter is provided for use with RCA inputs available on all standard video devices. This port support
NTSC or PAL formats.
